Aizome Skein
Three embroidery flosses used like highlighters on a deep indigo-dyed ground: ecru is the running stitch, madder the live element, gold the tag. Dark and saturated, bright not muddy.

Do
- · Keep aizome indigo as the ground; let ecru carry the stitches and most type.
- · Reserve madder for the single live element in a view.
- · Use gold for stitched tags, plotted-cell knots and warnings.
- · Pair every floss status with a mono label and a dot, never colour alone.
Don't
- · Default to a white or paper ground.
- · Spread madder, gold and ecru-as-accent across the chrome at once.
- · Use a fourth accent hue or mute the flosses into greys.
- · Put a coloured edge on every card.
